    It’s roughly twice the size of the base app, if it’s the same as Edge, which on my machine is 1.82GB. It’s shady as hell, but “massive” is doing a lot of lifting in this headline.

      That is absolutely massive for a browser. Like multiple orders of magnitude too big. Like what are we even doing

      And I don’t care if everyone is doing it, it’s still too big!
